When I go to my Page Setup dialog box, in Margins tabs, I see that I can specify the margins in inches. However, in my friends PCs, I have seen Page Setup dialog boxes that use millimeters for handling margins.

How can I make my version of Firefox to use millimeters instead of inches? Using this obscure unit is inconvenient for me. I prefer to use the internationally-accepted metric unit.

A recent version of firefox added some "art work" (don't know the right name) on top of the screen. How I modify/delete it? I'm using firefox 3.6.10 on a macintosh.

the subject says it all... I hate tabbed browsing. HATE IT. I'm guessing that there's no way to turn tabbed browsing OFF.... Since I've been searching ever since I made the mistake of upgrading. (held off upgrading after someone decided the refresh button wasn't needed either) EVEN IE ALLOWS me to turn off those STUPID tabs... soooooo PLEASE tell me if there's a way to make Firefox believe there is no such thing as a TAB.

I know very little about PCs and could use a little guidance on this. I'm sure it's really easy but I can not figure out how to do it.

                 Thank you

I occasionally see the little drop-down message alert bar thingy appear at the top of my browser window, informing me that "additional plugins are required to display all the stuff on this page". No problem, I think, this is not new ground for me, and I click the install button that it conveniently tacks onto the right end of the bar.

A popup then tells me that it couldn't find the plugin. There's a link that lets me "search manually", but the window it displays is a generic one that has nothing to do with the specific plugin it failed to find.

Here's the thing: at no time does it let me know WHAT PLUGIN it's trying and failing to find! I have no idea which plugin a random page is using. I'd love to be able to decide for myself, and install it manually, but it never gives a name!

I have installed some themes(skins), and I'd like to know where they are located on my HD because I'd like to make some modifications on them.

I have searched in the firefox profile directory with no success.

The 'extensions' folder contains extensions like 'download status bar', 'flashblock' and 'cache viewer', but not the themes.

Thanks a lot.

Just installed the beta version of Firefox mobile on my HTC Desire running the latest upgrades, in Canada on Tulus. Installed correctly, but under the first setup screen (preferences) I am asked at the bottom for Sync info... What do I enter, nothing I put in works... Did not need this info to set up sync between my HTC and computer so what is it? Looking forward to this but cannot use without completing this... Would love to get this going to sync with my computer!

Firefox has saved a couple of passwords that I neglected to write down in case I need to enter them at a different location. Can I see the contents of the saved passwords file? Where is it?

I was in the process of spell checking a text for my next blog publication when I stopped scrolling too early and ended up adding a misspelled word into the dictionary instead of selecting the correctly spelled word.

The result is that now, the misspelling is accepted and I don't know how to reverse this.

How do I go about undoing the addition of the misspelled word into the dictionary?

Is the dictionary editable?

I see that there is a keyboard shortcut for switching tabs within a Firefox browser window, but I'd also like one for switching between browser windows. I imagine this is easier on Windows, where each browser window sort of behaves as a separate application, but on the Mac OS an application can own several windows. Thus, the OS doesn't provide support for switching between browser windows via a keyboard shortcut; it can just switch between applications, which brings all of the target application's windows to the front.

When I use Firefox in a lot of websites it prevents the promotional photos and flash... For example: pic of mediafire website, first with firefox. second with cometbird browser.

I want to do it with other PC, but I couldn't know how I did it!

Thanks.

The Firefox help on this subject titled "N900 Keyboard Shortcuts" indicate that the either Cntr + Left Arrow or Cntr + Backspace equates to hitting the "Back" button ... Neither work. Perhaps this advice is a remnant from an earlier version that no longer works ... This is an important shortcut for those of us with repetitive motion strain ... Or for using a touch pad ...

Thanks

I accidentally checked the "do not show this message again" box on the notification that private browsing is about to begin. Is it possible to reactivate this message somehow?

When I opened the Certificate Manager under Tools/Options/Advanced, I found a long list of Certificate Authorities that looked very suspicious to me. For example, the first one was an outfit by the name of "TURKTRUST" with Turkish language names.

Where did this come from?

There are quite a few other "suspicious" looking CA names.

What happens if I delete them all?

I would like to change the vertical size of the header area in Firefox so the persona images I choose will be easier to see. Right now, when I choose a persona image, it only displays part of the image. The bottom part of the image seems to be blocked by the little horizontal gray line that separates the image area and the standard white background of the Firefox browsing area. The gray line looks like you can just grab it with the cursor and drag it down (as you would normally to increase the overall height or width of the entire browser screen) but no love.
